A recent post on an online community board which explains the meaning behind the names of several girl groups has enlightened some netizens.

One user uploaded a post, titled, “The meanings behind girl group names” and thoroughly explained the hidden meanings behind the names of several girl groups.

According to this user, Girls’ Generation means, “The generation of girls’ domination has come“. On the other hand, the meaning behind Wonder Girls is, “Girls who will surprise the world“. Kara means, “Sweet Melody” while the hidden meaning behind T-ara represents, “We will wear the music queen’s crown“.

Aside from these groups, there are also the names of girl groups that are obvious and represent how their names actually read. For example, girl group, Secret means “Secret”, Girls’ Day means “Girls’ Day”. Girl group, A Pink‘s name was formed when their agency just decided to combine the first letter of their label, ‘A Cube Entertainment‘ and the english word, ‘Pink’.

Enlightened netizens commented, “Not every girl group’s name has hidden meanings, I see~“, “Some of these meanings are quite impressive“, “I never knew Kara meant ‘Sweet Melody’“, and “T-ara does represent their group’s meaning!”
